Go up the avenue, and let Netta know you've come. We shall be home to dinner at seven. Good-bye for the present. Owen did not stay to consider, but walked past the handsome lodge, and up the drive, according to Howel's direction. 'Mighty condescending and very patronising, cousin Howel! he soliloquised; 'but I will go and see how Netta gets on, and how your highness treats her.
The father, Robert Smeath, had found it more and more difficult to earn anything on which to keep his belongings, and as a picture dealer seemed to have fallen into bad odour with the Italian authorities, for reasons of which Netta could give no account. "And how much do you think Mr. Melrose allowed his wife and child?" asked Victoria, her eyes sparkling.

You need not fear me, Netta, your brother who loves you so dearly' 'You won't go away again, uncle, will you? said the pale, little Minette, climbing on Rowland's knee and nestling her head in his bosom; 'or will you take mamma and me away from this nasty place?

'Then you will stay with us? asks gentle Mrs Prothero, looking the while at her husband. 'To be sure she will, says Mr Prothero.
Netta did not stop to consider Howel's real reasons for leaving the country, or imagine for a moment that a man of his, to her, inexhaustible resources, could be induced to do so because he found those resources were not inexhaustible.
'But, father, surely you would do something to save mother's life. Any news of Netta 'Don't name that girl to me, sir, or I'll horsewhip you! 'May I open the letter, father? 'Do as you will, but don't let me see it. The deceitful up-start! the pompous fool! the the
